Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Seok-Woo jogged back home, his mind occupied with thoughts of Jin-Yi.
"I guess that the woman knew what they we did, she seemed shrewd after all." Seok-Woo thought to himself, making a mental note to be careful about her.
After a few minutes, he arrived back home and started to prepare himself for school.
To be brief, Seok-Woo changed his clothes, showered, changed into his class attire, greeted both his father and Chae-Yoon at the dining table, ate quickly, stood up, said goodbye to them, and got in his car, driving off to university.
He drove to his destination, wearing a buttoned-up shirt, a pair of jeans, glasses on his eyes, and a watch on his wrist.
As he arrived at the university, he parked his car in the parking space, got out of the car, and walked to his classroom to settle himself there and wait for the class to start.
Seok-Woo walked with confidence, passing through people left and right on his way to his destination.
It was going well for him until he stumbled upon Gyeong-Eun at the entrance of the building, her arms crossed as she looked at him.
"What now? Why is she looking at me like that?" Seok-Woo thought to himself as he looked back at her, their eyes locking in the moment.
Seok-Woo was about to move to pass through her until he heard her speak.
"Seok-Woo... Thank you for saving Hae-Jung last night," Gyeong-Eun suddenly said without her usual tone of coldness, making him stare at her with widened eyes.
"I didn't think that she would tell her about that," Seok-Woo thought to himself, realizing that only he and Hae-Jung knew what really happened that night, well also the gang members.
"I'm just doing what's right, no need to thank me," Seok-Woo said to her, to which he continued.
"Just don't tell this to my parents. They'll make a fuss about it," Seok-Woo requested, to which Gyeong-Eun nodded in response.
After that, Gyeong-Eun went back to her usual state and addressed him. "I'll meet you at class later." When she said that, she turned back and walked away, leaving a baffled Seok-Woo.
"Well, that's fast," Seok-Woo commented to himself on the shift in Gyeong-Eun's state, amused by it as he walked inside, shaking away his thoughts.
But as soon as he did this, a sudden thought popped up in his head. "Did she wait for me there? If so, then she's not as cold as I thought," Seok-Woo thought about Gyeong-Eun's actions, commending her if she did so.
He smiled as he thought about this, walking straight to his classroom. As soon as he entered, he saw there were some people already inside. He then found a seat and waited for class to start.
Fast forwarding to lunchtime, the classes he entered were uninteresting for him just yet. Despite that, he still studied by himself, using the materials that the professor had given to the students at the start of the class.
Now it was time for him to decide whether to eat at the cafeteria or outside, so he waited for a few minutes to see if he would receive a call from someone.
Sitting on a bench, observing all the students in his sights, there was nothing to point out as he saw the vibrant atmosphere of youthful people.
As he was looking at them, someone approached him from behind. Seok-Woo sensed that someone was creeping behind him, so he turned back.
As soon as he did that, Seok-Woo saw Sunhwi, along with Eun-Ah and Ja-In.
"Seok-Woo, we were going to call you, but we saw you so we walked to you," Sunhwi said to him, to which he looked at her to continue.
"You're going to lunch, right? Then let's go together," Sunhwi said to him, but she hid her true intention, oblivious even to Eun-Ah and Ja-In.
"Sure let's go, I was waiting to see if you'd call or not," Seok-Woo replied to Sunhwi, not long after that the group once again got together for lunch.
They got inside the car, with Sunhwi sitting in the backseat this time, and Ja-In taking the front seat.
As the car started to drive away, Sunhwi informed Seok-Woo about the place where they would be eating. Surprisingly, it was closer than he had anticipated, just a short distance from the university. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to arrive.
Exiting the car after Seok-Woo parked it, they walked towards the establishment. Upon entering, they noticed that there were already some people inside.
Finding a table, they settled in and began deciding on their orders. Once they had made their selections, they called the waiter and handed over their list of choices. Then, they passed the time by engaging in conversation with each other.
During their conversation, Sunhwi frequently glanced at Seok-Woo, a behavior that was noted by the others. Seok-Woo was puzzled by her actions but chose not to question her, while Eun-Ah and Ja-In were also curious about her behavior.
They decided to set this curiosity aside temporarily as their food arrived. The waiter placed their orders on the table and then left, leaving the group alone.
With the arrival of their food, they began to eat. Seok-Woo enjoyed his meal peacefully and quickly, while Ja-In, having learned her lesson, made sure not to place her glass of water near the edge to avoid any spills.
As Seok-Woo was about to take the last few bites of his meal, Sunhwi smirked and got an idea. Under the table, she slowly removed her shoes, revealing her stocking-covered feet. With deliberate movements, she extended her feet towards Seok-Woo's crotch.
Within seconds, her feet reached him, and she began to gently rub around his crotch, hoping to elicit a reaction from him.
In her head, she thought Seok-Woo would react with surprise. She never could have imagined his reaction would be different than she thought.
As soon as Seok-Woo felt something rubbing against his pants, he looked at Sunhwi, who smirked at him.
In turn, Seok-Woo knew what was happening underneath the table. Sunhwi moved her feet, hoping to arouse Seok-Woo in this situation.
But Seok-Woo didn't want to become aroused in that moment. So he decided to retaliate before it would make his body uncomfortable.
With a swift movement, Seok-Woo took off his shoes. A few seconds later, he extended his leg towards Sunhwi.
He aimed for the same spot where Sunhwi had been rubbing him, but on her body in return.
He went straight for the center, his toes feeling the stocking covering Sunhwi's panties.
Nevertheless, he moved his feet sensually. Sunhwi's face changed as she felt it. She struggled to hold back a moan in this situation.
With each passing second, Sunhwi's panties gradually became soaked, her breathing slowly picking up as she found it difficult to hold back her moan any longer.
Eun-Ah noticed Sunhwi's discomfort and asked her, "Are you okay? You don't look so good." She was concerned about her, unaware of what was happening underneath.
"I'm... fine. Don't worry about m—" Sunhwi stopped suddenly as Seok-Woo pushed his toes forward towards her entrance.
But due to the clothing obstructing the pathway, he could not go very far.
A few seconds later, Seok-Woo removed his feet, feeling that it was enough. His socks were lightly wet from Sunhwi.
Both Ja-In and Eun-Ah were taken aback by Sunhwi's sudden gasp. Sunhwi then grabbed a glass of water and drank it.
With concern in their eyes, Sunhwi assured them that she was fine.
"Don't worry about me, I'm okay," Sunhwi said to them, but as she glanced at Seok-Woo, she could only see a light smirk on his face as he continued to eat.
After calm was restored, no one did anything, so they ate peacefully.
A few minutes later, the group finished eating. After paying for their meals, they went out to stroll around.
They still had a few hours before their next class started, so they decided to pass the time by exploring the area.
The girls went to some trendy places, taking pictures along with Seok-Woo. They walked for a while, jumping from place to place.
Seok-Woo scratched his head as he watched the three of them, so energetic and lively. They had been non-stop taking pictures on their phones.
Although Sunhwi was the one leading them to where to go, they only followed her lead.
Ja-In was used to this behavior from Sunhwi, as was Eun-Ah. They had done this a lot during their years of friendship. Nothing had changed except that Seok-Woo was there with them.
After a while, the girls had enough and decided to rest in a cafe. As they sat at the table, they drank beverages to quench their thirst.
Seok-Woo sat with them, checking his wrist. "There are still a few minutes before we go back to the campus," he thought to himself as he looked at his watch.
Once they finished drinking, the group started to head out again. This time, they were going back to the car.
After a few minutes, they arrived and got inside. As they settled in, Seok-Woo started the car and drove off, heading back to the university.
Nothing eventful happened during the journey, and before long, they arrived back at the campus.
As the car parked, the group exited. Seok-Woo was about to bid farewell to them when Sunhwi spoke up first. "Seok-Woo, let's have a chat privately," she suddenly said, causing him to raise his brow in response.
Sunhwi then turned to Eun-Ah and Ja-In and said, "I'll catch up with you later. I'll see you both in class," before gesturing for Seok-Woo to follow her.
Seok-Woo glanced at her, then at Eun-Ah and Ja-In. "I'm off now. See you both next time," he said, waving at them.
In response, they waved back, bidding him goodbye. After that, both Seok-Woo and Sunhwi walked away together.
As they distanced themselves, Eun-Ah looked at Ja-In and said, "Do you want to follow them?" Ja-In replied, "Why do you want to? Let's mind our own business." But Eun-Ah persisted.
"Just this once, and no one else. Don't leave me to follow them alone," she pleaded, lacking confidence in herself to go alone.
Ja-In didn't immediately reply, considering Eun-Ah's request. Though she wasn't keen on the idea, there was a part of her that wanted to. After a few seconds, she sighed and made a decision.
"Fine... Let's go, but if we get caught, it's on you," Ja-In stated, setting her condition for joining. Eun-Ah nodded in agreement.
Now, the two began to follow Seok-Woo and Sunhwi. Seok-Woo had his arm around Sunhwi, who intentionally pressed his arm against her chest.
Seok-Woo could feel the softness despite the clothing, but it wasn't enough to provoke a reaction from him.
Unbeknownst to them, Eun-Ah and Ja-In trailed behind. They observed the two, anticipating something to happen but unsure of what.
As Sunhwi found a secluded spot for them to talk, Seok-Woo surveyed the surroundings. "She's taken me to the back of the building. There's hardly anyone around," he thought to himself, then turned his attention back to Sunhwi.
Seok-Woo had an inkling of what might transpire; it seemed this chat would be more than just a conversation.
As they waited for her to speak, both Eun-Ah and Ja-In peeked as they watched the events starting to unfold.
After a few seconds of waiting, Seok-Woo finally heard Sunhwi's voice. "You're pretty calm in this situation. Any guesses on what's gonna go down?" she said playfully, knowing he could read between the lines with subtle clues.
"Well, let's not drag this out. Time's ticking," Seok-Woo said, taking off his glasses and stashing them safely.
After that, the two locked eyes. Then, Sunhwi made the first move, inching closer to him.
As she neared, she put her arm around Seok-Woo's head, giving him a hug.
Both of them looked at each other with anticipation. Ja-In and Eun-Ah couldn't believe Seok-Woo and Sunhwi were at this stage in their relationship.
Sunhwi lifted her heel, slowly bringing her face towards his. Seok-Woo tilted his head a bit, and before long, their lips met in a kiss.
